Pretty urgent - somewhere to pump up tyres in guildford

[GFWilliams]

On the way to Guildford the low tyre pressure meter pinged up on the dash. I'm on runflats, so just slowed down to as slow as It is safe to go...

Now I'm on a revision course at Guildford county school and would really like to check and top up the pressures before I go home.

I don't know Guildford well at all - is there anywhere I can check and top up the tyres?

Help much appreciated

Done mate, having lunch at 4 so anytime after 5 is ok
Just call or tx if you get lost.

is it just me that is worried by the lack of road sense? I once convinced a girl at work you had to change the air in your tyres completely every 6 months. Mate any petrol station has a pump these days. And if your waiting for tyre warnings to come on I would be worried about ever hooning the car.

I checked the tyres last night and they were all just below 30 psi...

Must have been something to do with my spirited driving on the Surrey Run.

Thanks Rick for your help - I don't know Guildford at all!

Diz - Reading the user manual earlier it said that the sensor can become 'inaccurate' up if there is loss of traction too often

The front left was at 18 psi and I can feel a bulge in the side wall, so I think it's going to have to be a new one. (and yes, they are runflats unfortunatly )

as i have told you before george DITCH the run flats they are shockingly bad get some decent tires and a can of goo

Oh I would if my dad would let me

The ride is SO hard on it and I know it would make a massive difference to change the tyres to 'proper' ones!

Those run flats are rock hard even at 30psi
Must be a bone shaker of a ride on our nice uk roads.
The side walls were harder than the 7.5 tonner ones parked next to it.

Swap them out mate.
A get some feel back into that car
(Even though I like big cars and trucks those Mini's rock bad ass)

Tell him they're:

a)dangerous, and
b)much more expensive

Then see what he says.

They may be dangerous in terms of handling, but if I were to have a blow out at high speed, I know which type of tyre I would prefer to have!

I will tell him that though - I want to get some R888s for it

Runflats can also blow out...

Getting 2 new tyres (runflats) tomorrow, and getting the tracking checked at the same time
